Human amniotic membrane for inferior retinal detachment
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special membrane (human amniotic membrane) can help repair a detached retina, especially if the tear is in the lower part of the eye. It might be a good option if standard surgery is harder to do because of scarring or a tear's location.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have a retinal detachment that includes a tear in the lower part of the retina (between 4 and 8 o’clock) OR your surgeon plans to make a cut in the lower retina.
- You can understand and agree to take part in the study by signing a consent form.
- You do not have other serious eye problems (like advanced glaucoma, corneal ulcers, or active inflammation).
- You are not having a different surgery (called scleral buckle) that would fix your detachment better.
- You do not have a history of seizures or serious mental health conditions.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two surgical methods—a new foldable band placed around the eye versus a standard procedure called vitrectomy—to treat retinal detachment when the tear is too complex for a simple sponge. It aims to find which approach gives better results.
This trial compares two types of surgery for people with a retinal detachment who still have their natural lens (no prior cataract surgery). One group gets vitrectomy alone; the other gets vitrectomy plus the lens removed at the same time. The goal is to see which approach leads to better outcomes.
This trial tests if injecting a medication called methotrexate into the eye during retinal detachment surgery can prevent scar tissue from forming. Scar tissue can sometimes cause the retina to detach again, so this treatment might lower that risk.
This trial studies a “dropless” method (fewer post-surgery eye drops) after pars plana vitrectomy, a surgery used to repair a retinal detachment. It may help by improving comfort and simplifying recovery for people having this specific type of retinal detachment repair.
This study tests a surgery for people with a small macular hole (a break in the retina's center). The surgeon repositions the inner layer of the retina to help the hole heal. It may be an option if you are between 50 and 80 and have not had eye surgery before.
This trial tests a new device for repairing a sudden retinal detachment that affects the central vision. It compares this system to standard surgery, and may be an option if you have a specific type of retinal tear in the upper part of your eye.
